LIVINGSTON MANOR — On Saturday, May 26, Joan Wulff and the 2012-13 newly elected Trustees of the Catskill Fly Fishing Center and Museum (CFFCM) will ceremoniously put the shovel in the ground to include the Wulff Gallery into the new addition to the center.
The ceremony will take place at 1:30 p.m. on the grounds of the CFFCM, Old Route 17 between Roscoe and Livingston Manor.
The Wulff Gallery will include the Joan Wulff historical collection and that of her late husband, the great American sportsman Lee Wulff .
The Wulff Gallery will surround the top floor of the planned addition to the Paul Dahlie Education building. The interior of the gallery will be a multi-flex area made up of a library, conference area and unique exhibit area that can be transformed into a meeting room. It is anticipated that the meeting room will accommodate up to 90 seats in a matter of moments and will be a great addition to the Western Sullivan County area. It will also be available for local needs.
Immediately following the ceremony, Joan will sign her latest book “Joan Wulff’s New Fly-Casting Techniques.”
